Thanks for the like Doc - seriously, if a person ever came across a full trilogy day at some bonkers arthouse place - would you recommend it? (Didn't say I don't like the first one - I think I was enjoying it in an alternative way to the rest of the crowd - embarassing)

Only saw the first - an epic experience, as I think I was the only female in the place, and the only one who hadn't seen it before. So I think I broke the bloke code many time by laughing at the jokes that only women get and the boyfriend actually verged on fisticuffs with the man in front who...

Would love to see Close Encounters on a big screen some day - although that would be a disturbing pile of mashed potato scaled up, come to think of it. Keep looking - but not while driving, OK?

Thanks for the like, Doc - this is reminding me of a long-ago actual all-night science fiction I went to . I think I remember all the films, but not necessarily the order they came in... 1933 King Kong (seriously on a big screen - terrifying!) Barbarella Incredible Shrinking Man It Came from...

Development Hell - there's a title to pitch to the bewildered!

Rebecca - takes a while to get back from Mandelay at this time of year.... And I was replying to the first round and the missing "R" there, so there's serendipitous for you...

Ooh, stylish nostalgia - I would say: most days, anything on Radio 2 except Chris Evans, but with a whole lot of added Meatloaf in the mix.

Hello again, Hux - given that I've just been co-opted onto my college's Equality and Diversity committee, I'm looking forward to cutting through some soggy wittering with timely quotes, when needed. (You know - morons....)

Gosh - he popped up just this evening as a senator in a random ancient Rome thingy I found on channel 5 download. But seek him out as Death in Terry Pratchett's Hogfather, just for fun, and in the oldish-but-marvellous Porterhouse Blue. And did you see all of his House of Cards trilogy?

1) it gets a name check in Rocky Horror 2) so maybe I should try to track it down?

feeling better now I have an avatar - it's my first!

So true, so true... sometimes just humming a few bars of "I'm tired" can cheer a girl up, especially if someone recognises it. "Screw you I'm working for Mel Brooks" makes me happy - but sadly, I don't.

Salzmank - every Hammer horror was a victory in my cherub infancy - it meant I'd successfully stayed up through Match of the Day with my dad to be allowed to watch it. And in later life, with the new telly, when it turned out they were in COLOUR all along - streuth. I would add Universal (really...

Not after they have me over to babysit.... Sorry Seeker - been meaning to compliment your Queen avatar - have many Brownie points for good taste

Thanks, Hux - guess I've never strayed to such places - certainly the only Basements I entertain have cobwebs, faded aromas, aged wines and mystery fungi ... yours sound far worse.

Think I dimly remember about 20 minutes of it on a friend's VHS before a gentle coma descended - a bit like The Grand Budapest Hotel, but without the plot or jokes?

Woof! I would defer to your very superior memory of the detail - but have a tiny niggle of belief in dragon-telepathy to sustain me. Or really good hearing. Or something. Either way, you've moved the discussion a degree above dragon-poo, so I thank you for that!

Heavily moderated forums have a tendency to slowly but surely veer to the left and become very dull safe spaces. Hi Hux, Puzzled by that comment - left-veering but dull and safe...? Doubt Trotsky would see it that way, but maybe you've been on boards beyond my ken. I'd love to know what you...

Thanks for that - I've heard of the Ken Follet book but not got hold of it yet - have you tried the Heaven Tree trilogy?
